barkwindjammer Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Santa and the Fairy Angel One Christmas season a long time ago, as Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, problems started to pop up everywhere around the North Pole workshop. A flu epidemic was making many of the elves too sick to work, and the trainee elves he pressed into service could not produce toys as fast as the regular ones. When he went out to feed and exercise the reindeer, he found two were pregnant and about to give birth, and another two had jumped the fence and gone tromping around the local woodlands. After he got back from rounding them up, Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mother was coming to visit. “What next?” a stressed-out Santa said to himself. Santa went out to the garage and began to load the sleigh for a test run. Unfortunately, one of the floorboards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys all over the floor. Frustrated beyond words, Santa went into the house for a cup of hot apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had drank all the liquor and emptied the cider pot, too. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom and termites had destroyed the handle. Just then the doorbell rang. “Good god, what’s next!!” he thought. A highly irritated Santa trudged to the door, opened it, and there stood a little fairy angel with a great big Christmas tree. The fairy said, very cheerfully, “Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn’t it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?” . . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
